How to buy a 3 piece suit online.

How to buy a 3 piece suit for men online does not need to be complicated. If you do just a little research, you can have an enjoyable experience buying your suits online.

How do I know what size 3 piece suit to buy online?

• Get your chest measured.
• Have your waist measured.
• Have a Budget. How Much Are You Looking to Spend?
• What Type Of Fit Are You Looking For?
• What Material Do You Prefer?
• The pant's waist can be taken in or let out.
• Have your sleeve length measured for Regular or Long.

Since you are buying a 3 piece suit online, you don't have the luxury of trying it on. 3 Piece Suits have the same guidelines you need to follow as a regular suit. You can try the jacket on and you can't try the pants on either. That is why 

having someone other than yourself measure you for your suit size is so important

. You need to know that men's suits come in the jacket chest size. This is the most important size to know. There is no way that you can accurately measure yourself. It would be best if you had someone to do it for you. First, you need to get yourself measured by someone with a cloth tape measure. You can't use a carpenter's tape measure because those are made of metal and not designed for bending and wrapping. Read on: Is the 3 piece suit more formal here.

How to get measured for your suit size.

Have them first measure your chest all the way around with your arms hanging to find your suit jacket size. If your chest measures 44 inches all the way around, you will know that your 3 piece suit or any suit size will be a 44. Next, you should have your waist size measured. Now if your waist is smaller than the listed waist size for the 3 Piece Suits you see online, don't worry because the pants on dress suits are made to let in easily up to 2 inches without any major alterations. If your waist is a bit bigger than the size listed with the suit jacket, they can be let out in the waist as well up to 2 inches without any problem.

Three-piece suit sizes are based on the jacket size.

All the suit jacket sizes come with the size waist on the pants. Now if your size is really off either you need to get remeasured or you're going to need to figure out another option. These are standard off-the-rack three-piece suits and can easily fit 95 percent or more of the men they were designed to fit. Once you figure out your suit jacket size you need to know if you're a regular, long, or short suit size wearer. I usually use the simple height determination to figure out what size you need to wear. If you are 5'6" or shorter I recommend a Short suit size. If you are 5'7" up to 6'0", I suggest you order a Regular. Now if you are lanky or taller, you will need a Long to accommodate your long arms and torso. On a long suit, the sleeves are generally 2 inches longer than a regular and the jacket body is about an inch longer as well.

How do I know if the 3-piece suit is well-made?

The first thing you need to do is learn a few essential details 

about how suits are made. It is also good to know a few brand names and determine whether

they are well-made and reliable for the price point that you are shopping for. If you are trying to get the most for your money, Vinci is a good brand to look at.

When you receive your 3-piece suit with the Vinci label, you will be really impressed with how well it is made from the fit of the suit to the fine quality of the fabric that it is made out of. Their products are hand-tailored and have all the quality construction features you will find on models costing $300 or more but at a cheaper price. They have canvas chest pieces sewn in the jackets that you don't usually find on cheap suits and have properly constructed shoulders providing a fit that you will love once you put it on.

Because the jacket is constructed correctly, you won't see that the shoulders sag as you see on other types of cheap suits or that the jacket loses

its original shape because it was constructed correctly. Inside the jacket, you will see a well-made suit lining that is oftentimes a 

French lining that has a distinct style to it and is hand-sewn

. The pants on their brand of suits will have linings that are down to the knees and all the top-quality seam stitching and waistband construction that you would expect on more expensive suits.

What type of fabric should you look for.

Fabric is also a consideration when learning how to buy it online. Since you don't have the opportunity to touch and feel the material, you need to know a few things. For your best shopping experience, you have two basic choices. Wool or Poly/Rayon as a suit material. Wool is an excellent material to 

use in the construction of a suit because it is a natural fiber that wears well and

resists wrinkling. There are many different qualities of wool. You want to look for super 150s wool which is the thread count of the material. It gives the fabric a nice smooth feel and touch. A lower count may give the wool an itchy feeling that many people don't like. If the thread count is higher like super 180s, it makes the fabric fibers too fine and weaker. Chances are the suit won't look good for as long a time as a super 150s wool suit would.

Is Poly-Rayon a fine material?

Poly/Rayon makes a fine choice for suit material because in most cases, it emulates the feel of fine wool and is very comfortable to wear. It also wears well and resists wrinkling so you look well-pressed the whole day that you are wearing your three-piece suit. You also want the fabric to be a super 150s count for the right fineness of the material. You also want the material to be around 25 percent rayon so that material has a softer and richer feel. When the material has a 15 percent or even 10 percent quantity of rayon, the fabric feels cheap and rougher to the touch. That extra quantity of rayon adds a silkiness to the material that you can feel instantly.

Are three-piece suits comfortable to wear?

The short answer is yes. A 3-piece suit that fits you properly can be just as comfortable as a 2-piece suit with the only difference of the added vest. The vest will be sized the same as the suit jacket with the added bonus that the back of the vest has the strap feature to cinch for a more custom fit to your torso.

Many men who are regular suit buyers appreciate wearing a 3-piece suit because if it gets really warm where you happen to be, you can take off that suit jacket and have on the vest and look more presentable than if you were wearing it just the shirt and tie. There is something about a three-piece suit that looks more formal and put together than your standard 2-piece suit. That is why years ago

, Men of Stature were only seen wearing suits with vests,

and 2-piece suits were considered more casual wear back then.

Are there any recommended ways to wear a 3 piece version, especially pinstripe?

Answer: I always like to tell my customers to just people watch including on television where you may see some of your favorite celebrities or athletes wearing a suit. These guys always have professional stylists having them dress up in this suit or that suit, so you know from the get-go that they are going to look like a million dollars that they are worth. If you see someone wearing a 3 piece suit with a certain shirt and tie combination that you like, by all means, go for it and carry yourself with confidence and you too will like a million bucks as well. Since these 3 piece suits are your classic pinstripe style, you can wear so many shirts and tie combinations from your classic white shirt and pattern tie to something with more flavor to it like a bright color dress shirt and matching tie and make that pinstripe suit with vest really impress.

Can you buy one to wear as a groom at a wedding?

Depending on what the bride wants the wedding to be like, a pinstripe variant is a great choice to buy if you're the groom or if you want the men at the wedding party to wear them. If the suit is well-made and is made of very fine suit fabric and will make a fine-looking wedding suit for the man who doesn't want to wear a tuxedo and best of all, you'll be able to wear this pinstripe suit to any other special occasion like someone Else's wedding. It's all in how you dress it up.
